ABSTRACT

A descriptive and cross sectional study of 576 women with orofacial traumas due to physical violence, assisted in the Emergencies Service of Maxillofacial Surgery from "Saturnino Lora Torres" Teaching Provincial Clinical Surgical Hospital in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January of 2007 to December, 2010, with the aim of characterizing them according to clinical and epidemiological variables of interest for the investigation. The 15-34 years group, the jealousies and the alcohol consumption as causes for the abuse, as well as the husband and the ex-husband as main aggressors prevailed in the series; also, the incidents took place mostly at home and in the street, where the punch and the blows with objects were used as primary mechanism for the injury. Among the orofacial lesions of the soft tissue, the closed forms (hematomas and abrasions) and the open ones (non-complex facial lacerations) were relevant; among the injury patterns of hard tissue, the nasal and dentoalveolar fractures.
